Question
Answer
It starts from the center and extends to 25% of the Sun's radius. Gravity pulls all of the mass inward and creates an intense pressure.   Core  
🗑
It extends to 50% of the sun's radius from the core. In this area, energy from the core is carried outward by photons.   Radiative Zone  
🗑
This one is the final 30% of the sun's radius. It is dominated by convection currents, these carry all the energy outward all the way up to the surface.   Convective Zone  
🗑
It is the lowest region of the sun's atmosphere. This section can be seen from Earth. It is 180-240 miles wide and it's temperature is 5,800 degrees Kelvin.   Photosphere  
🗑
These dark, cool areas on the sun are located on the photosphere. These spots always appear in pairs and are intense magnetic fields that break through the surface.   Sunspots  
🗑
It lies above the photosphere to about 1,200 miles. The temperature all around it is from 4,500 degrees kelvin to 10,000 degrees kelvin.   Chromosphere  
🗑
It is the final layer of the sun and extends millions of miles outward from the photosphere. It can be seen during a solar eclipse.   Corona  
🗑
